Editorial policy and guidelines for manuscript submission

TrabalhoNecessário is an electronic publication of the Center for Studies, Documentation and Information about Work and Education of the Faculty of Education of the Federal Fluminense University (neddate-uff). It’s directed to teachers and researchers, as it is to students of graduation and post-graduation, specially  from the areas of social and human sciences.

The Journal seeks to recover in its title one of the central concepts of Marxian thought. A concept that refers to the vital activity of the human species, and also to the extent and substance of value, and, on the other hand, to the realization that political struggle - theoretical and practical - cannot be left aside when at stake is overcoming the society of goods. Anyway, work is always necessary.

The themes to be addressed in the TrabalhoNecessário will be preferably linked to human development and educational practices taking place in institutional settings or the movements and practical struggles occurring in different social spaces.

The editorial line of TrabalhoNecessário is guided by a commitment to “understand and reconstruct, in theory, the various social mediations” comprised in the relationship between the world of work and education, electing historical materialism as theoretical and methodological framework, leading to a historical view of class society. In seeking the multiple determinations or mediations of phenomena, relating part-whole, subject-object or subjectivity-objectivity, past-present, within a historical totality, historical materialism is opposed to idealistic, empiricist, structural-functionalist and poststructuralist references, which also address capitalism in different ways. In this sense, academic production in the perspective of historical materialism is based on the ethical-political assumption that Marxian ontology has praxis as its immediate or mediate goal. That is, the overcoming of classist social relations, today masked by the refining of the logic of late capitalism in its most strong ideological manifestation: neoliberalism.

The corollary of the editorial line of TrabalhoNecessário is justified by the realization that the production of knowledge is always linked to a particular conception of reality in societies divided into antagonistic social classes. It follows that, in the permanent search for the meaning of reality, it is impossible to sum theories as intended by eclecticism. As Gramsci suggests, incorporation of some aspects of the theories in dispute can obviously occur – in a subordinate way.

Finally, TrabalhoNecessário is also open to appreciate texts adopting different methodological-theoretical references, since they show internal coherence in ontological and epistemological terms, and stimulate a fruitful debate on the critical relationship with this editorial line.
